the events of the past few weeks have kept us busy. we are working to support direct talks between the israelis and palestinians, and next week i will travel to egypt and jerusalem for the second round of these negotiations. in iraq where the combat mission has ended, we are transitioning to an unprecedented civilian-led partnership. we are stepping up international pressure anhalon iran. we're working with pakistan as it recovers from the devastating floods and continues to combat violent extremism. and of course, the war in afghanistan is always at the top of our minds and agenda. none of these challenges exist in isolation. consider the middle east peace talks. at one level they are bilateral negotiations involving two people and a relatively small strip of land. step back and it becomes clear how close the regional dimensions of what started last week are. what a significant role institutions like the quartet, consisting of the united states and russia and the european union and the u.n., as well as the arab league, are playing. eq

technology can help if used properly. such mechanisms include common- sense measures including digital tagging, community flagging, and a host of very important tools that could be used. my time is up. i will finish on this. we also need to weigh in on the ways that people, young children are moved around. last summer, this past summer, i convened a group of flight attendants led by american airlines which has a great program that really needs to be replicated worldwide so that the flight attendants and crews will recognize the person who is in traffic -- being trafficked, across borders or states, and take action. not in a vigilante type of white. alert the pilots so that when this individual gets off, the right law enforcement asset, can be waiting there at the gate. there were instances after instances told where it just did not look right. and the flight attendants and watched what was going on, got into a conversation, perhaps when the young lady was going to the restroom and told the pilot who told law-enforcement.
